I have tried getting a Developer Token from the Configuration page and inserting into code. I then try to run the code but get this issue: Message: Developer token has expired. Please provide a new one.

Steps to Reproduce

• from box_sdk_gen import BoxClient, BoxDeveloperTokenAuth

def main(token: str):
auth: BoxDeveloperTokenAuth = BoxDeveloperTokenAuth(token=token)
client: BoxClient = BoxClient(auth=auth)
for item in client.folders.get_folder_items('0').entries:
print(item.name)

if name == 'main':
main('INSERT YOUR DEVELOPER TOKEN HERE')

• I Insert my developer token from configuration page
• I run script
• gives me error

Developer tokens are usually short-lived. It is possible that yours has expired before the call was made. You can try making the same call with cURL to make sure it's not a problem with the SDK itself - https://developer.box.com/reference/get-folders-id/

curl -i -X GET "https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/0" \
     -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"

If problem still persist I recommend reaching out to our forums
